Hi all,
I've done my best to scour the forum for any hint of
others having this issue, but I'm a bit surprised to have
found nothing. Hopefully some of you have seen this and
are aware of a fix. I apologize in advance for not
knowing the Pro/E terminology very well - I'm a
technician rather than a user - and I don't have the
software available to me right now.
I recently installed a new computer for one of my users.
He installed Pro/E and got it running as it should, with
exception of one minor issue. He is unable to see his
mapped network drives in the navigation pane on the left.
They simply do not show up even though they are mapped
properly within Windows and are plenty accessible.
I used the browser on the right-side to navigate to them
manually (i.e. typing in the drive letter as M:\ and
hitting Enter). This works to access the drive and now
the drive appears on the left side. Additionally, I've
added this to his Favorites / Common Folders lists, and
it's accessible there in any version of Wildfire on his
machine. I can close the application and reopen it, and
everything is still working successfully.
However, once I reboot the computer and log in, after
which our drive mapping script (VBS) runs to unmap and
remap all his drives, Pro/E will thereafter fail to see
the drive letters again (notably, I don't launch Pro/E
until the drives are fully mapped). When this problem
returns, accessing the Favorites/Common Folder links I
created for the drive letters produces a subtle message
to the tune of "M:\ not found."
I have remote access to the config files on this machine,
as well as those on a known-working machine, but could
spend hours comparing differences and speculating as to
which difference is the culprit (assuming this is even a
configuration file issue). Have any of you encountered
this?
FYI, I'm running this software on a Windows 7 64-bit box
and the user has administrative rights to the machine.
Thanks!
Aaron
